European Space Agency launches Gaia Satellite Telescope

The satellite telescope will examine about a billion stars, or less than 1% of all the stars in the Galaxy and will create a 3D "Star map" of the Galaxy.

 

 

Wait, hold up. "will examine about a billion stars, or roughly less than 1% of all the stars in the Galaxy." To think that a huge number like a billion can still represent such an insignificantly small percentage of all life, matter, and space in the Milky Way, is truly nothing short of astounding.

 

 

Folks, if you didn't feel small before, you sure are now.
